Photographing the Southwest: A Guide to the Natural Landmarks of Southern Utah & Southwest Colorado

Tight, clean with a few sentences highlighted and or underlined -" A must for everyone with a passion for the Southwest! Have you ever wanted to see with your own eyes all the beautiful locations found in coffee table books, posters, and travel magazines? Do you want to see the most photogenic spots in our national parks and monuments? Do you want to visit spectacular "off the beaten track" locations outside the parks? Are you are interested in rock art and early Native American dwellings? Photographing the Southwest is the result of over twenty years of experience in exploring and photographing the natural landmarks of the Southwest. This guide has all the information you need to make your trip richer and more rewarding. - Volume 1 covers Southern Utah & Southwestern Colorado - 270+ pages of great information for everyone; no need to be a photographer - Hundreds of locations, including the best spots and how to get there - All the major national parks, monuments, and state parks - Clear and precise indications provided for hard-to-find sites - Lots of travel tips not usually found in traditional guidebooks - Where, when and how to get the best shots - Valuable tips on composition, exposure, and hard-to-shoot scenery - 170+ high-quality B&W photographs -It took almost 3 years to produce these guidebooks (Volume 1 & 2), building on the success of highly-praised "Land of the Canyons". Almost all previous locations have been revisited and a very large amount of new locations have been added, many of them "off the beaten track" and not found in other guidebooks. The sheer amount of information necessitated a split into two separate volumes. Even so, each book "feels" very substantial and a glance at the inside immediately reveals the depth of the material. People immediately recognize that they are holding a work of substance that was thoroughly researched. The photography as well as the reproduction quality of the B&W images also make these guidebooks very unique. Eleven photographers, all pros and advanced amateurs contributed their talent to illustrate the sites. Preface by Master Photographer Tom Till."
